president obama did not want to act. a year later he rejected the advice of his national security team including hillary clinton, david patraeus, and leon panetta to, again, arm the moderate syrian rebels. well, there are no moderate syrian rebels left that really have any ability to influence events right now. you are left with al qaeda and sunni extremists on one hand fighting assad, iran, and hezbollah on the other, and the united states has had no opportunity now to actually choose an option that could protect american national security interests. we've helped to create this sectarian bloodshed where you've got extremists fighting each other on both sides, and now you have the massive use of wmd in the heart of america's national security region. we are a choice now not between good and bad options but between bad and worse options, and the president, unfortunately, has created this mess. >> sort of a hobson's choice in the end there is really only one choice. thanks so much for being with us. appreciate it. >> thank
